    More than these highlights, the HONOR 7X is an unlocked device, when it's compatible with any GSM networks, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket and MetroPCS.

In daylight scenarios, the rear camera was quick to focus and shoot both standard and portrait images with an enhanced depth of field. The 8MP front camera features also bring you a good selfie. The new Gesture Control function means you simply have to turn your palm to the camera to trigger a countdown to a selfie. About storage, the device has two variants: 4GB RAM+32GB or 64GB, and you can add up to an extra 128GB with a microSD card.
